The other day I had the opportunity to watch these 2 little boys while their dad was having surgery. On our way into the house from the bus stop the boys found some worms. I asked them if they wanted to hold one! Hello, dumb question. They are boys so of course they wanted to hold one. As I placed one worm in each of the boys they squealed with delight as the worm as the worms crawled all over their hands.
After I settled into a routine with them it was time for lunch. I asked the boys what they wanted to eat/
They all yelled, "sandwiches".
"Well, what kind of sandwiches?"
The older one replied "Peanut butter and honey."
While the middle boy said " Peanut butter and worms!"
"Okay done," I said with a mischievous chuckle.
"I will eat the worms," said the middle boy. "If you make it I will eat it!"
Challenge accepted. I sent the boys downstairs to play while I made lunch. I started to put together 3 sandwiches. One with worms, two without.
I then got into my refrigerator and pulled out one hot dog. Opened my utensil drawer and took out a straw. I pushed the straw into the hot dog and pulled out one "worm".
When it was lunch time I called the boys upstairs to eat.
I handed the oldest his peanut butter and marshmallow sandwich and I handed the middle boy one of the "worms" that I had made.
It was great he started screaming at me "That's gross. Ewww, that's gross".
I then told him that he asked for worms for his lunch and I went outside and caught one especially for him to enjoy.
He was getting kind of upset that it was on his plate so I picked it up and started to put it in my mouth. I got quite the reaction from doing it too.
"Ewww Jessica that's gross. Ewww stop Jessica. Stop. Don't eat the worm".
I told him that someone had to eat it so I asked him if he would. He told me that he wouldn't. I tried to convince him that he would really enjoy this worm if he would just give it a try.
I even told him that it wasn't a worm after all that it was just a hot dog. I showed him the hot dog that I made the worm from. His response "How did the worm get inside a hot dog". It was quite classic.
When his mom came and picked him up that day he told her all about the worm that I had made for him at lunch. He was still convinced that it was a real worm. I kinda wish I would of ate it.
